You can buy this 28.7-hectare rural tourism estate near Silves for €1,200,000. The elevated property includes a three-bedroom farmhouse, panoramic countryside views and significant development potential. It is a compelling option for buyers seeking an Algarve estate for sale with agricultural income and rural hospitality possibilities. Set in the Serra de Silves, the land extends across approximately 287,280m². The existing Pre-1951 country house provides 142m² of living space and 188m² of construction. It contains three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a rustic fitted kitchen and a lounge-dining room. The farmhouse is offered for renovation, allowing a new owner to shape the accommodation around their needs. A pre-approved rural tourism project could replace the present house with a hotel development of up to 2,000m². This approval creates an important route for developing guest accommodation, subject to the relevant permissions and conditions. The estate currently operates as a working fruit farm. Around 12,000 medronho trees provide a distinctive agricultural asset and strong local character. Citrus, pine and other fruit trees add variety to the productive landscape. Two natural lakes, a stream, two boreholes and a well support the orchards and gardens. An autodrip irrigation system with approximately 32km of pipes helps distribute the estate's own water supply. The summit offers impressive 360-degree views across the surrounding countryside. There is also pre-approval for a swimming pool and a natural swimming lake, subject to confirmation during the buying process. A carport, gravel driveway and outdoor parking provide practical access for residents, visitors and potential guests.
